The TV speakers are decent, but I prefer actual surround sound when it comes to movies, sports, PS5....well, anything. So I got a soundbar with a sub and 2 satellite speakers. I'm sure they'll be BF sales on speakers too, so with this TV you can have a helluva setup for around $300. This really is a great deal on this TV.
I've bought numerous TCL TVs over the years and one of them (I think this model) had the screen die after a few months. I went without the use of that TV for about a week, which was a minor annoyance, but it was repaired at no cost to me under warranty.

1. If you go any smaller than 65", you're not making the most out of the benefit of 4K resolution. If you sit more than four feet away, your naked eye can't differentiate between 4K pixels for 4K content. On the other hand, if you go bigger than 65", the cost per square inch quickly rises. This 75" TV ($398) is 33% more screen area but for 75% more cost.

Finally, let's say your living room already has a 65" TV and you want to go bigger, Wouldn't your money be better spent getting another el cheapo 65" 4K TV into another room of your house?
2. As far as I can tell, you can rarely find a $228 - $250 65" 4K TV, new, outside of the Black Friday timeframe.
3. It seems like when people get the TVs shipped, they arrive cracked. I'm only working with a sample size of two here, but I bought a $250 Hisense TV from Best Buy on Black Friday 2020, and a $228 TCL TV very similar to this one from Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2022. Both times I used curbside pickup and had them load the TV into the back of my 2013 Ford Escape, screen side up (if anyone drives one, a 65" TV will fit with like one inch of width to spare). Both survived 20-30 minute drives home. Without getting too long winded, the point is if you have a car big enough to fit it, you should absolutely use curbside pickup instead of getting it shipped.
4. Let's be honest, these Black Friday TVs don't excel at quality or dependability. This is where getting the longest possible extended warranty comes in. As a general rule, yes, I do think extended warranties are scams, but in this one case I prefer to have it. You get a better deal on them on Black Friday because the price of a Geek Squad or All State warranty is usually based on the price you pay for the TV.

I went through this to enable an IPTV service and although I was able to do it, it was a pain and they disabled the app within a month.
Wanted to add on the OS discussion.
-Apple TV, all around best for set it and forget it.
-FireTV, best for customization, cec control, side apps, etc. Also very good all around.
-Roku is also great out of the box, but will slow down over time. Probably newer updates incompatible with older hardware.
-Google- sticks are fine, TVs baked in systems all seem to have bugs that get addressed on updates, somewhat quickly.
-Nvidia shield, you'll never use the TV OS again.
-Web operating systems (tizen, LG, Google, etc) work as good as the manufacturer's service reputation. Again, based on compiling issues and pushing updates in a timely manner.
